good review....but did not touch on the unfortunate bigger agenda of US/UK postwar agenda(which was being planned by the respected Elite planners and enacted by MI6/OSS and SOE) which was to ENSURE the postwar political machinery would be CONTROLLED BY SOCIALISTS of every color..hence the aid and support to the French/Italian/Yugoslav/Polish/German SOCIALISTS AND COMMUNIST MOVEMENTS AND PARTIES.to ensure the planned UNIFICATION OF EUROPE under SOCIALISM... Treaty of Rome, NATO, EEC, EU and now the EU Global empire... oh well....a good review nonetheless....
